going. stacey: he is a high energy guy. he is going to come in and get offensive rebounds. you saw eans offensive brown dunk, setting screens. he is not asked to score. he has been a guy who comes in and plays high energy and does a lot of hustle plays. neil: hinrich this -- in a hurry. taj gibson ben traits laid it off. that is stolen by budinger. stacey: again, the spacing is just not there. everybody is trying to make a play but again, you can't make these tight quarter passes. he traveled. neil: traveling is the call. out of bounds to the bulls.

nate robinson facing and then firing and missing. the rebound by amundson again. he has become beast amundson here in the late game. stacey: he has nine rebounds. neil: to go with his five points, including a dunk and a block of taj gibson. he has played very well for rick adelman down the stretch. shved to the rim with the left hand. that looked like rubio. back to taj. raises up. the rebound taken down by minnesota. one and done right now for the bulls.

two on that sequence and then thrown away. nate robinson runs all the way in and the lay-up is good. 79-70. that was nearly picked off by jimmy butler. barea, the veteran telling his guys, come on, we have to finish this off. a nine-point t-wolves lead with 55 seconds. barea runs through traffic. [whistle] and then back to budinger. they can offered to run some clock here. shot clock to 10. shved inside. pekovic, no. but he is going to get to the free-throw line. the foul is on taj gibson.

that is his sixth. gibson fouls out. 18 minutes, 1-5 from the field, five rebound and four points. stacey: the bulls are going to have a couple of days off before they have to get back on tuesday. again, this is going to be a process. so many new players. missing luol deng tonight, and rip hamilton, who would have made a difference. neil: and those were not injuries. tib just wanted to give them a night off. you see this happen all the time in the preseason. stacey: and it may be other players later. kirk hinrich has played a lot. he has 31 minutes and jimmy butler has 47 minutes. he needs to get as much time playing in the preseason as possible.

neil: hinrich knocks that down. it is 81-72 with about a half minute left. budinger knocked away and then hinrich tried to wrestle it away from him and picked up the foul. that is his fourth. we will walk to the other end. back to the free-throw line goes minnesota. minnesota with 49 free throws attempted to this point. stacey: and 69 personal fouls. neil: wow. total in the game. stacey: total in the game. look at the free throws. that is a lot of free throws being shot. neil: budinger makes that. the lead is back to 10. stacey: and the free throws is not like going to the basket

type free throws. these are stoppage of play fouls. unbelievable. neil: kirk for three and that is good. he is going to play this all the way out. 82-75. 19 second left. they get it to barea. barea had it knocked free. now robinson fires. that won't go. rebound hustled for. it is out of bounds to minnesota, i believe with 11.6 left. budinger nowhere to go, and he gets a time-out. a 20-second time-out taken by rick adelman. last night in champagne we saw cleveland go into one of those stretches where it was at least

four and may have been more possessions where they couldn't even get the ball across the eight second line. stacey: you saw there the bulls put always full-court pressure on, forcing minnesota to call a time-out. barea is small, and they put a body on him. you are not going to get that call. being a point guard you have to be strong and split that trap. neil: you can't take that ball to the sideline either. you have to get the ball in the center of the floor where it is much more difficult to trap you. with the 20-secretary time-out, rick adelman gets to advance the ball into the frontcourt.

shved to inbound with 11.6 left to play in the game. barea catch. now budinger. circles. skip back to barea. and that is going to do it right there. [buzzer] 82-75 minnesota, in a foul fest. they win the basketball game. we will be back after these messages.
